Corneotherapy

« Back to Glossary Index

Corneotherapy is a skin treatment approach that primarily focuses on repairing and maintaining the health of the skin barrier, particularly the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer of the skin. The philosophy behind corneotherapy is that the integrity of this skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health. It aims to address various skin issues by targeting and treating the stratum corneum to restore the skin’s protective shield.

In practice, corneotherapy involves the use of skincare products and treatments that are designed to be compatible with the composition of the skin. These products often contain ingredients that mimic or support the natural components of the skin barrier. The goal is to help repair and strengthen the skin barrier, which can be compromised due to factors like aging, environmental damage, harsh skincare products, and certain skin conditions.

By focusing on the skin barrier, corneotherapy aims to prevent and treat a range of skin issues, such as dryness, sensitivity, and various dermatological disorders. It is often used as a preventative and holistic approach to skincare, promoting the skin’s natural ability to heal and protect itself.

Corneotherapy (Wikipedia)

A moisturizer, or emollient, is a cosmetic preparation used for protecting, moisturizing, and lubricating the skin. These functions are normally performed by sebum produced by healthy skin. The word "emollient" is derived from the Latin verb mollire, to soften.
